With the advances in traffic simulation during the last decade, it is now possible to model many traffic problems, such as signal control optimization, testing of Intelligent Transportation System technologies, and emergency management. These problems are difficult to solve using the traditional tools, which are based on analytical methods. The September 11th disaster has raised the consciousness of transportation professionals, for better emergency response. Advances in the traffic simulation technology can be used to model and test the disaster management strategies. This thesis presents the use of a microscopic traffic simulation model to evaluate the emergency vehicle routing strategies in case of an emergency. A detailed framework outlining the model building and calibration of the model using microscopic traffic simulation model PARAMICS is provided.
